Our work at the heart of UK government, healthcare and innovative business support for critical systems and services which help for millions of people. By joining us you’ll help deliver improved digital experiences and responsible approaches to emerging technology – either directly in your work as a consultant or by supporting our business through your work in core company functions.
We believe what we do matters and can have a positive impact on society. Many of the solutions we create are used by millions of people each day, whether that’s improving the accuracy of prescription drug information for the country’s pharmacies, making the UK tax system easier to navigate or looking at ways to improve the usability of the NHS app.
We also offer opportunities for our people to work on pro-bono and low bono client projects with non-profits and other impactful organisations. All of this is underpinned by our commitment to being a purpose-driven business, demonstrated by our B Corp certification.
Your wellbeing matters to us and it’s something we prioritise at Opencast. We try to bake this into our culture, whether that’s ensuring our salaries are aligned to industry standards to creating a safe, inclusive environment.
We are focused on:
If you’re facing challenges, we have an Employee Assistance Programme for support, as well as mental health first aiders you can turn to. And we offer practical support such as SAD lamps and other reasonable adjustments you might need.
We’re here to make work as comfortable, inclusive and supportive as possible and we encourage our people to let us know what they need.
JEDI lies at the heart of what we do as a business. We’re focused on creating a workplace where all identities, attributes, ways of thinking and backgrounds can succeed and thrive.
We recognise that it’s essential that we are not only focus on diversity but also on creating opportunities for our people to be seen and heard at all levels. We want to ensure that the diversity of our people reflects the population as a whole, so we can deliver solutions that create a fairer society for all.
Our people get a voice, both through communication and feedback opportunities but also via Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). These groups allow our people shape how we change as a business, to elevate minority voices into the spotlight and to bring people together who have shared experiences.
We celebrate the diversity of our people through different events such as Black History Month, Pride and Diwali, and by growing our understanding of different experiences through talks on neurodiversity, menopause, seasonal affective disorder, and through colleagues sharing their own personal stories as part of our “Being Me” series.
We understand that it’s important to not only set our own focus on this area, but also to work with other organisations to ensure that we’re meeting recommended standards. We have a number of different accreditations and certifications in connection with our inclusive approach:
We offer support for you every step of your career to help you achieve your potential.
Throughout your time at Opencast, you’ll have regular conversations about your development, and we’ll support you as you work on creating your Professional Development Plan (PDP).
Opencast has used the Skillsbuilder Universal Framework to identify the Essential Skills that apply across all roles and levels, while technical skills frameworks and playbooks specific to each team and role are there to provide you with the knowledge you need to thrive. This means you’ll have a clear framework to gauge how you are developing and growing in your role.
Development is ongoing throughout the year, and we have formal progression points twice a year to consider whether someone is ready to step into a more senior role.
We provide access to funding for your individual learning requirements and all our permanent people have access to LinkedIn Learning. There are also workshops, communities, coaching, mentoring and wider resources available to foster continuous growth and development.
We welcome conversations or questions around what we do, how we work or the technology we use. Our 'Open Door' allows you to contact us with your questions direct.
